Annie (Anne) Cummings, LCSW

Annie (Anne) Cummings is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief, substance use, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Annie practices in Florida and brings a calm, warm presence to sessions.

She earned a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and has worked in medical and correctional settings, including New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center and Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. Those roles gave her experience with people facing complex medical, mental health, and life stressors.

Her counseling style is open and relaxed. She uses a client-centered approach so people feel heard and safe to talk. Therapy is tailored to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Annie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to address symptoms and build practical skills. She also draws on mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when helpful. She works with a wide range of concerns, including issues related to parenting, aging, ADHD, and jealousy when it affects relationships.

Clients can expect straightforward, supportive conversations and clear strategies to manage stress, improve sleep, cope with change, or address substance use. She emphasizes collaboration and small, doable steps toward goals. Annie aims to guide people gently through difficult times while respecting their pace and values.

How Annie’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take actions that match their values, even when emotions feel strong. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and build practical skills for problems like depression, sleep issues, and addiction. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus and emotional regulation.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the collaboration in early sessions. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily life, then suggest techniques or a mix of methods. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Many people find online therapy helps fit work and family schedules, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it easier to keep regular appointments without travel. Online sessions can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into conversation for immediate problem solving.
